BMW N52 engine

4 Apr 2012, 8:02am
Hi Guys

Has anybody used a newer bmw engine in one of there cars? I am thinking of using a N52, This is the engine from the 130i. I am worried that without all the bmw sensors and extras, the car will constantly be in limp mode. Does anyone know where I can get more information on this?

I have been through all the forum posts on bmw engines and it seems like the old E30 engines are the most popular.
